Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer: Welcome to the Dark Side?
At halftime of ESPN"s featured Monday Night Football game, the Minnesota Vikings were leading the Chicago Bears by a non-rousing score of 3-2.
Yet viewers stuck around because they had been promised something rather unique at the break:
The second trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
In this surprisingly revealing preview, we open with a look at Kylo Ren"s turn to the Dark Side, as Supreme Leader Snoke says the following to the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia:
"When I found you, I saw raw, untamed power. And beyond that, something truly special."
GULP.
The footage then takes us to Rey"s training with Luke Skywalker, where her power of the Force simply astounds the Jedi.
"I"ve seen this raw strength once before. It didn"t scare me enough then. It does now," Skywalker tells his impressive pupil.
He’s talking, of course, about Kylo Ren’s massacre of the young Jedi trainees Luke was once overseeing. And he now thinks the Jedi must end… yet perhaps this fear will merely push Rey away.
Elsewhere, we"re treated to a glimpse at Finn facing off in a battle against his ex-commander, Captain Phasma, as well as our first look at Supreme Leader Snoke that isn"t an evil projection.
How does the trailer end?
In ominous fashion, with Rey telling her adversary Kylo Ren:
"I need someone to show me my place in all this."
Cue Kylo Ren extending his hand to her… and our hearts practically leaping out of our bodies.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15.
Ahead of the trailer’s release, meanwhile, Lucasfilm unveiled the official theatrical poster for The Last Jedi:
Pretty darn awesome, right?
Also: rest in peace, Carrie Fisher.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" Trailer Released, The Return of Luke Skywalker! (VIDEO)
HE’S BACK!!! The brand new “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” trailer just dropped featuring the return of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker … and it looks awesome!!!! Lucasfilm screened it during the ‘Star Wars’ Celebration in Orlando, Florida, on Friday –…
Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer: It... Is... HERE!!!!
Ever since the title for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was announced in January, fans have speculated over its meaning.
Who is The Last Jedi? Is this word being used in the singular or in the plural?
We may not have an answer right now, but we do have something else to wonder about in regard to this upcoming blockbuster…
… THE FIRST OFFICIAL TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Released as part of a special convention in Orlando in celebration of the saga"s 40th anniversary (an event that featured Billie Lourd paying tribute to her mom), the following sneak peek is everything a Star Wars fan could ever want.
We see that Star Wars: The Last Jedi picks up right where The Force Awakens left off, with its cliffhanger on the cliffs of the planet Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker had gone in search of the first Jedi temple.
However, Rey disturbs this retirement by presenting Luke with his original lightsaber… you know the the one, it was lost on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back.
Director Rian Johnson said at the aforementioned Star Wars Celebration that this next installment will center on Luke and his legendary journey, a nice course correction from the last film, which didn"t feature much of Luke at all.
Naturally, however, Finn, Poe Dameron, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, Hux and the mysterious Snoke will all make their returns in the movie as well.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will also mark Carrie Fisher"s final appearance as Princess Leia.
She passed away in December, about a year prior to the December 15 release of Star Wars: The Final Jedi.
"What Rian wrote and the performance she ends up giving, I think you guys are going to find that an amazing tribute to her talent," producer Kathleen Kennedy said at the Orlando convention.
But enough from us, right?
